I had no problem digging my own grave in The Traitors, says Charlotte Church

Charlotte Church has said she had "no problem" digging her grave on The Celebrity Traitors.

The 39-year-old singer, from Llandaff in Cardiff, stars in the first celebrity version of the popular gameshow alongside Alan Carr, Kata Garraway and Stephen Fry.

In the first episode, the celebrities were confronted with personal headstones and tasked with digging their own grave to find a shield, thereby saving themselves from 'murder' that night.

"I mean, being in the soil is one of my favourite things to do - so I had no problem digging my own grave," Church told Ed Gamble during the Uncloaked podcast.

In Wednesday's episode, Church became the Traitors - Alan Carr, Jonathon Ross and Cat Burns - latest victim.

"The voice of an angel - and now she is among them," Winkleman said, solemnly, announcing Church's murder.

Speaking on the dedicated Uncloaked Podcast, Church said she had enjoyed her time on the BBC One show.

"I feel like I had an experience of most things," she said.

"I'm sad I didn't get to experience getting out a Traitor.

She added that as the show went on with "the intense nature of the game... becoming progressively more pronounced - that would have been difficult for my little sensitive self".

Church said the missions were a "big part" of why she had taken part in the show.

"The ones that were enormous, like the Trojan horse, I mean it was so brilliant to be part of that.

Church said she was "vocally a Faithful" and good at it, which probably led to her recent demise.

"The Traitors couldn't use me as a diversionary tactic - in terms of trying to frame me as a Traitor - then what use was I to them?"

But she bemoaned her exit, midway through the series, which concludes on 6 November.

"Hopefully, I would have become more discerning as the game would have gone on," she told podcast host Ed Gamble.

"I think I would have been a threat to the Traitors if I had stayed."

Church has also recently commented on a video of her that went viral online last year, which showed This Morning presenter Alison Hammond laughing while Church performed a live sound bath - a meditative practice which uses sounds to help induce relaxation.

Speaking to Elizabeth Day on the How to Fail podcast earlier this week, Church said she felt it had been a "misjudgement" on her part to do the segment on national television.

"But I think what annoyed me more than anything else was that then I'm given the opportunity to display, and demonstrate, and represent somewhat, this amazing art of sound-healing or sound ceremony - or however people want to describe it - and then it's made a figure of fun.

"That really did actually touch quite a deep wound for me," she said.

However, she maintained she and Hammond have met a number of times and the presenter is "a wonderful woman".
